I'm doing a little planning ahead here looking to see how much I will need to save for next spring. I needed snow tires and wheels this winter so that was the priority. My '11 Golf TDi has just crossed 100k miles. The shocks and struts were spongy when I got the car. I do plan on keeping this one a while. I'm looking at the Koni STR/T and H&R spring kit, or a set of Bilstiens with the factory springs. Are there other options I should look at? This car is daily driver duty only, but I don't want a Caddy ride. I like the firm German ride and handling balance. What are your opinions? Thanks!

I put Eibachs and STRTs on my Volvo and wish I had sprung for the FSDs instead. I like a little firmer ride too, but all the pot holes and road seams on my regular commute got pretty old after a long day at work. Our Jetta is getting FSDs when the time comes.
